In the section TVDataServices you can configure installed Data services.

Data services are external components whose task it is to download TV listings and provide it to TV-Browser. At least one Data service is needed for TV-Browser to have listings to process.

The standard installation of TV-Browser includes the Data service "TV-Browser" which downloads the TV listings offered by the TV-Browser Team.

The following description refers to a standard installation. Settings TVBrowserDataService.png

Download additional information

On this tab you can select which additional information TV-Browser should download.

You can choose not to download this when, for example, you have a slow internet connection or you don't need extra descriptions for a movie.

There's also the possibility to load images for programs, but this is still experimental and functions only for the "kinowelt.tv" channel.

Channel groups

Here you can add other channel groups. A channel group is a group of channels which is hosted by someone on a server. We introduced channel groups so that other people can offer TV listings.

The "Information" button shows additional information about a channel group. For example which channels are in a certain channel group.
